Tales of Amber is not a fragrance of water- it's a story told in warmth, spice, and elemental depth. Born of ambergris washed ashore on the rugged coast of New Zealand. Shaped by the heart of Australia's red earth. Composed with labdanum, oud, and musk, nature's oldest materials, made new again. Not a nostalgia trip, but a transformation, a fragrance that reawakens geological relics and makes them modern, vibrant, and vital. It wears like sunlight on traveler's skin, leaving an indelible trace of the foreboding land, a permanent mark of the heat, a breath of something timeless. A rich, elemental extrait that reimagines amber through the lens of Australia's sunbaked terrain and the rare beauty of deep, primal ambergris, Tales of Amber blends spice, smoke, and floral powder into a scent that feels both ancient and modern- a fossil reawakened through warmth, depth, and time.

Reviews of Tales of Amber

Fragrantica - This is gorgeous, and absolutely not masculine, or at least not so much that I won't be wearing it. Beautifully complex, there's a lot going on but in an interesting way, rather than a mishmash of notes. The orange blossom and moss opening is so appealing, and the cinnamon and orris mid notes are so delicious I want to lick my arm. But then I almost want all that to be over, because the dry down is unbelievably good - vanilla and complex amber, with a hint of oud and the remnants of the cinnamon. I'm getting an FB as soon as it comes out, and eking out my sample until then. Bravo, G&B.

Fragrantica - i'm only occasionally gobsmacked by a new fragrance. is this a masterpiece?... no, but it's pretty damn close as far as 'ambers' go. the kisses of both cinnamon and orris do not overwhelm, with the ouds and moss adding a perfect counterbalance over the ambergris anchor. the musk and vanilla hover above in a tiny cloud. and all so adeptly blended. yes, it's just that good.


Fragrantica - You can easily pull this off as a woman. It's sweet and has a nice, gourmand quality. The notes on here make it sound like it's wild, but in reality, this is a nice, tame wearable amber scent for anyone.

Fragrantica - Definitely reminiscent of the Dior Homme line, the same lipsticky iris note being the main character for the opening at least.
It then beautifully transforms into an earthier, kind of "stinky in a good way" scent. I'm absolutely memorized by this scent, and although I love so many G&B fragrances - this is the most unique and special one in my opinion, 

Fragrantica - Tales of Amber is a unique scent you won't find any other fragrance to compare it to (even though some try) as its niche in every sense of the meaning. The opening while pleasant leaves a hint of mystery that begs a person to ponder what exactly the dry down is going to bring and with that transition comes some voodoo magic as the scent profile warps and twists the notes under your nose bringing forth a truly stunningly gorgeous fragrance man has ever conjured up. Performance is really really good with great longevity and decent projection with a sillage that leaves an enticing trail. If you're looking for a great affordable niche fragrance thats on par scentwise with anything houses like Creed and PDM have to offer then start with Goldfield and Banks they produce some amazing fragrances.

Fragrantica - Perfect mix of SHL panthea iris and Goldfield & banks mystic bliss.... very creamy buttery orris/iris with an obvious woody element to it. This is what every iris scent should've been but could never do right, not finally goldfield & banks has perfected the iris dna and so far this is the best iris on the market and i'm not even a fan of iris. Forget about the name "amber" it's not really an amber fragrance, think of this as a flanker to mystic bliss just in a different bottle/name

Fragrantica - Absolutely gorgeous! This is their best release imo. It's too masculine for me personally but this would be amazing on a guy. High quality stuff. Performance is no slouch either.

Fragrantica - Beautiful fragrance. Opening reminded me of the cinnamon in Eyes Closed but this is much deeper and more complex. Projects well, long lasting, more masculine leaning imo. Althair is sweeter with gourmand touches whereas Tales of Amber has more emphasis on the rich woody-amber notes. On my skin, the ambergris was in full force after a few hours of wear - not sure
